About That Road Trip, Then…
So yesterday I told you that, “I’ve just been on a busman’s holiday, masquerading as a road trip…”
“Waddya mean, a busman’s holiday?” you may well ask. “And why a road trip, anywayz?”
Well, as I hope yesterday’s post proved, road trips are traditional for those with aspirations to live a life littéraire.
Also, I had promised myself one when this last round of editorial tweaks was done, so as soon as they were done I was awa’, awa’… But—and here’s where the busman’s holiday part comes in—I also wanted to check out potential locales for a few new story ideas I’ve had kicking around for a while.
“But,” you may cry, horrified, “you haven’t finished the WALL series yet. You’ve still got a whole book yet to write!”
Indeed I have—and fear not, a little location scouting doesna mean that any other story shall be muscling its way in ahead of WALL4.
But as you’ve no doubt detected, story wrangling is a business that takes me some time to bring to fruition. So checking out potential locales now is a sound basis for the sort of mulling that may result in pen being set to paper some time hence.
In the meantime, though, it’s fun taking a few (OK, quite a few!) pics and jotting down some initial ideas to go with them.
And as promised, I’ve included a few of the pics with this post, just because… 🙂
Ooo. I love Chinese Scholar’s Gardens. And that’s quite a coast!
I shall post more of the garden then, perhaps on Sunday…
I love the color of your ocean. I live close to the Atlantic on the East Coast of the U.S. The ocean here is much greener and murkier. Oh … but the sound of waves is magical anywhere!
It is glorious, isn’t it? And I feel a post on the sound of water coming on… 😉
